Is there any way to change ' total\_auto\_throttle\_in\_bytes' value in Elasticsearch. Is this value changable ?

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

What are you trying to achieve/solve by altering this setting?

One (of the probably many) way would be to freeze the index. This reduces the value to zero. Great? This comes of course with many downsides. It is a trade-off (as always). Please refer this:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/freeze-index-api.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/freeze-index-api.html)  
There might also be more gradient ways of reducing the value like hot-warm-cold stuff here:

But @warkholm is right: We need more details to help you! What do you want to achieve/solve?
